We had finally found time to drop by the Relics Exhibihition yesterday afternoon.
It was still scorching hot but at least there's the warm breeze.
Lots of visitors are coming as well and this exhibition seems interesting.
It stirred a lot of different opinions, however, it is also our chance, the residents of Qatar, both locals and expatriates alike, to see his works of art.

There is a check in counter for the cameras and water/bottled water are not allowed to be taken in.
There is a kiosk near the reception area for some memorabilia and a cafe that serves Damien Hirst inspired snacks.
